January 07, 2013 -- When the “Bonus Payout Red Ball” was drawn in the CT Lottery’s Play3 Night drawing on January 5, lucky players with the ever-popular 1 – 2 – 3 number combination on their tickets won up to 20% more in prizes.

“The number 1 – 2 – 3 is currently the fifth most commonly played triple digit sequence in the Play3 Night game,” said Anne M. Noble, President and CEO for the CT Lottery. “Combined with the drawing of the ‘Bonus Payout Red Ball,’ the Play3 Night game was a big ‘winner’ on that date for our players.”

Statewide, 7,323 winning wagers were sold and after all winning claims are presented, $1,304,481 in prize money will be paid out by the CT Lottery. Since the Play3 Night game began, 1 – 2 – 3 has been drawn a total of sixteen times in the daily drawing with the last combination being picked on October 15, 2012.
